     Directions may be any valid known direction known to magic, including
     the following standard directions:
     <UL>
       <LI> <B>north</B>, <B>up</B>, <B>top</B>
       <LI> <B>south</B>, <B>down</B>, <B>bottom</B>
       <LI> <B>east</B>, <B>right</B>
       <LI> <B>west</B>, <B>left</B>
       <LI> <B>center</B>
     </UL>

     Directions may also be one of the combinations:
     <UL>
